It is possible this could be a launch car that has been "personalised". You can see the traction control unit on the bulkhead (lord knows where the switch is but owners do move the switches around) As I understand it the pre production cars all had 0 as the 12th digit on the vin and launch/production cars had 1 ( last four digits on pre production would be 0***** and launch 1*****)
My launch car last six digits are 100886 and has a registered date of 18th June 1999

Edit: If indeed the Vin is as stated in scoubix's post (ending 001760) then it really does confuse things as it is indeed a pre launch VIN.
